DESCRIPTION:[]\n\nSpeaker(s): Eng. Kiprotich Mololu\n\nAgenda: \n-\nAMR vs.
  AMI: Understanding the structural and operational shift to true bi-direct
 ional infrastructure.\n\n-\nSmart Meter Architecture: Layer-by-layer break
 down of sensing\, processing\, communication\, and head-end layers\, inclu
 ding PCB design considerations\, calibration\, accuracy classes\, and prev
 enting meter creep.\n\n-\nEnd-to-End Communication Pathways: Mapping data 
 flow from local buses (UART\, I2C\, SPI\, Modbus RTU\, Optical) across net
 work protocols (PLC\, RF mesh\, Cellular\, DLMS/COSEM) to the Meter Data M
 anagement System (MDMS).\n\n-\nPower Quality & Grid Health: Practical appl
 ication of active\, reactive\, and apparent power\, power factor\, and Tot
 al Harmonic Distortion (THD) in billing and grid optimization.\n\n-\nNet M
 etering & Distributed Energy: Operational mechanics\, bi-directional meter
  handling\, and islanding/safety concerns.\n\n-\nStandards & Compliance: M
 etering evolution\, multi-phase wiring configurations\, and governing fram
 eworks (IEC\, IEEE\, MID).\n\nVirtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/57
